2 Weeks of practice. A = Attempt on my own. D = Demo'd with video

Still need a lot of practice with this. I wasn't really satisfied with my fruits, ginger, and animals, so I went back and drew some pottery and blobs. On that attempt tried being looser and wrapping the cross-contour lines around the form properly.

First 2 Attempts

I first attempt to do the bean by on my own (Labed as A.), then did the bean again after watching the demo (D.). I started sloppy at first just to get a feel for it. I was struggling on finding the twists and center lines intuitively, so I made a prop using 2 tennis balls and a sock. I also drew limbs and other features on the bean so I had a better idea on how it all ties together.

Here's a small sample of my gesture drawings. First two are 2 min, and the last one was 30 seconds.

I did the robo bean exercise several months ago, so I applied it here. Used nude models from SketchDaily.
